Though these pieces were part of Tisci's "curated by the Burberry team" pre-collection - ergo, not part of the designer's own runway collection - you can be sure that they offer a preview of what we can expect.

2 | The in-store art installation is less than neat

British artist Graham Hudson has created an enormous scaffolding-clad art installation in the middle of Burberry's Regent Street store (so far, so unlike Christopher Bailey).

Featuring a traditional sculpture studio on one floor, a 3D photographic booth on the "ecclesiastical" top floor, and a robot which can turn said photos into sculptures (many of which were dotted around the sculptural installation, coated in bright pink latex) - suffice to say, we can (probably) expect to see some of said art in Monday's show.

"This work is about life and death. But how you encounter the artwork will have a lot to do with your own life experience." Hudson told me yesterday. "Every experience affects our views, values and behaviour, from reading a book to sitting next to someone on a bus. Any creative output is equally tossed on the seas of random perception."

3 | Expect logos

The T-shirt in Tisci's early drop and the polo shirts and sweaters in his team's secondary drop collection featured versions of his Thomas Burberry insignia and a new, neat, Helvetica-printed 'Burberry London England logo (and that's before you get to the 'Burberry Kindgom' branded pool slides, the classic Burberry check cross-body bags and big bold sneakers).

Luxe-loaded sportswear has, for many years, been the name of Riccardo Tisci's game. And if his former collections for both Givenchy and Nike are anything to go by, we shouldn't be surprised if that's what we get at his iteration of Burberry.

Where Tisci's predecessor Christopher Bailey was all about heroes of British literature, stars of the Bloomsbury group and bright regency patterns - Tisci's aesthetic, by contrast, is hard-edged, monochromatic and precise.

Taking to Instagram this afternoon, Tisci has revealed that Massive Attack have made a unique soundtrack for the Burberry show. He said "Massive Attack have had a huge influence on me my whole life – I discovered them when I was a student here in London and when I started planning my first Burberry show, I knew we had to work with them to bring back the sounds I was so inspired by. I am so happy that they will be designing the soundtrack for my debut collection!!!!! THANK YOU"

6| The show space

Tisci again took to Instagram mere minutes before the show to reveal a beige and moody show space, akin to the temporary facade of the Burberry Regent Street outpost.
